Holy Matrimony
The Sacrament of Marriage (Holy Matrimony) is a public sign that gives oneself totally to the other person. It is also a communal statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife, speaks of family values, and also God’s values. Registered parishioners who have been worshipping with our Saturday/ Sunday community for at minimum 3 months, are asked to notify the rectory at least six (6) months prior to the planned wedding day. A marriage preparation course is required for all couples.
United in Love, Strengthened for Service
United States Catholic Council of Bishops Brief on Matrimony
“In Christian marriage, spouses model the love and self-gift of Christ. By giving of themselves and serving one another, their family, and community, they help one another live out Christ’s call to discipleship, love, and service. Marriage provides a foundation for a family committed to community, solidarity, and Jesus’ mission in the world.”
